Mancala Wooden Traditional Game

Mancala Wooden Traditional Game may well be the oldest game in the world and is believed to have originated in Egypt and later spread throughout Africa where it is still played today.

Different versions of this strategy game can be found all over the world and there are many different rules but the strategy remains the same. This counting game is wonderful fun and has a very interesting logic to it that helps develop maths skills.

I reckon the simplest things in life are quite often the best! The grandparents rolled out the mancala set last time we visited and they loved it. We're now the proud owners of our very own set. It's great fun! And you know what? I think the kids have had far more fun playing Mancala with us than they'll ever achieve ogling an iPad. A top family game. ...

I ordered this to be sent to my 5 year old grandson. He enjoyed sorting and counting the coloured 'stones'. the game promotes predicting and planning ahead in order to win - important maths skills learned in an exciting context. great game for children who are beginning to enjoy puzzles and problem solving. ...
